[B42] Immersive Preservation: Canning and Jarring (of evolved recipes)

Preserve 'evolved recipe' foods such as soup, stew, etc. in jars using the vanilla jarring method, for an immersive expansion to the game's preservation mechanics.

Optional - remove requirements for salt and vinegar.
Optional - sandbox settings: days until stale/rotten for all jarred food.

1. Cook your evolved recipe.
2. Place into canning jar.
3. Cook sealed jar for an hour.
4. Store and enjoy at a later point in time.

At default settings, jarred food (including vanilla preserved vegetables) lasts 300 days before going stale and 400 days before rotting at normal spoilage setting when kept without refrigeration (vanilla: 60 and 90 days).
Note that the vanilla mechanic accounts for the age of produce, so make sure to can your produce at its freshest and as soon as possible after jarring. Auto-learning of jarring process lowered from level 8 to level 4 cooking.

Please see my Realistic Distributions: Alcohol, Cigarettes, Clutter mod for more jars, lids, salt, and vinegar spawns. Additionally, see Rebalanced Yields: Butchering for more homesteading tweaks.

-Compatible with all modded items as long as you can use them in the evolved recipes.
-Jars allow you to store more produce than in a cooking pot or bowl as they are lighter.
-Jars and lids returned in all expected scenarios, unless the lid is at low condition and gets broken.
-The opened soup/stew/rice/pasta jars do not count as metal and can be microwaved.
-Even though the jar is briefly displayed as 'uncooked', you will correctly receive cooked food if you decide to open it without canning.
-The spice and seasoning icons are now transferred to the jar as of version 1.1.2 of this mod - they do not do so in vanilla when e.g. portioning soup from cooking pot into bowls.

-Potentially create a realistic version - as the vanilla method is not safe for canning most of the things players are going to be canning. This will do for a video game for now, enjoy the expanded functionality. A pressure canner is used to reach higher than boiling temperatures (kills botulism spores) and preserve food that does not have naturally high acidity and/or salinity, and would otherwise be rendered unpalatable.
The developers intended to allow the player to preserve high acidity vegetables in a water-bath canning method - this is suitable for many pickled vegetables, tomato sauces, relishes, jams, and chutneys.
-Maybe a check for how big the food is, potentially allowing or requiring the player to use two jars.

Lua implementations were used when possible to avoid overwriting vanilla scripts and functions. Only the vanilla canning 60/90 days script was affected. This mod will potentially extend the shelf life of any mods that allow more jarring and preservation as long as they use the vanilla script.
